Day 41: Crunch Time

Tomorrow starts are last weekend of  build session. We’ll be building pretty much strait through till bag day to get our competition robot ready to be bagged.

That’s the state of the practice robot right now with the new lift crossbars installed and the box mounted to the lift. It’s going up much straighter now, but we do have an issue with chain tension on the lift that we’ll need to fix. Every gap on this robot is so close this year. We have parts that miss intersecting by an 1/8 or 1/16 of an inch. So many of our systems are having to be combined and mounted together because of the size restraints.
